Verse 1 chords: [or use verse/chorus tab]
A E
There’s a man who lives on the sun, who makes it hard for everyone
D
Make you run aground, like a ship in the shallows, make your whole heart come undone
A E
And you come back as the song before you come back as the song
D
And you wore away by the rain in the rivers, before you had a chance to go...
Chorus chords: [or use verse/chorus tab]
A E D
To the great unknown...o-o-own...o-o-own
A E D
You are not alone...o-o-one...o-o-one
A E D
Being on your own...o-o-own...o-o-own
Verse 2: [use verse 1 chords]
There’s a man from the end of the road, who really really really wrote (?)
And he lost his grip on the very last trip, and fell dreaming in his best ends (?)
And it came back as a ghost, before he came back as a ghost
And he was worn away by the rain in the rivers, and he found himself...
Chorus chords: [use verse/chorus tab]
On his own...o-o-own…o-o-own
And he is alone...o-o-one...o-o-one
And being on his own...o-o-own…o-o-own
Verse 3: [use verse 1 chords]
Well theres a light at the end of the line, where everything’s divine
Have you got your grip? And you fall to the ether, and you finally bid just fine
But the man who lives in the sun, has got it out for everyone
They explore the ground, like ships in the shallow
Makes the whole world come undone
Chorus Outro: [use chorus chords or use verse/chorus tab]
And we are on our o-o-own…o-o-own
We are not alone...o-o-one...o-o-one
Being all alone...o-o-one...o-o-one
We are not alone...o-o-one...o-o-one
Being all alone...o-o-one...o-o-one
We are not alone...o-o-one...o-o-one
Being all alone...o-o-one...o-o-one
